The Government College of Engineering & Textile Technology, Serampore (GCETTS) is an engineering college in Serampore, West Bengal, India.

History

A textile industry was established in India in the middle of 19th century. The need for trained technical personnel to drive that was felt in Bengal which led to the establishment of the institution. The Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology Serampore was established in 1908 as the Government Central Weaving Institute with a two year certificate course in weaving in a rented house in Serampore.

In 1938, a three year diploma course in textile technology was started which was upgraded to degree course in 1957 under the affiliation of Calcutta University. 
The institution was renamed as College of Textile Technology Serampore, which was changed to its present name in 2005.

From the year 2009 B.Tech in A.P.M and M.Tech in Chemmical Processing of Textile was started.

Computer science and information technology departments

CSE and IT department buildings

The Computer Science and Engineering Department and Information Technology Department were formed in 2001 and 2000 respectively. Due to the formation of West Bengal University of Technology, the Serampore Textile College incorporated in its curriculum the CSE and IT departments and changed its name to the present name. The CSE and IT departments share all the labs as the subjects are very similar.

Laboratories include electronics, microprocessors, communication engineering, software labs (operating systems, database management systems (DBMS), media, control and systems simulation), basic programming (subjects like Java, World Wide Web, Artificial Intelligence. The physics lab, chemistry lab, and mechanical workshop and electrical workshop, are shared among all departments.

Achievements
